D. X. Norris and others, committees
representing Anderson, Pickens and
Oconee. offer farm OF 80 acres. with
usual buildings located two miles west
OF the town OF Pendleton, free OF cost
for the time il is occupied by the expert
mental station.
A telegram from Major E. B. Murray,
OF Anderson. OF yesterdays date, drew
attextion to the fact that the tract was
located near the corner OF tue three
counties and adjacent to the Air Line
and Blue Ridge Railroads, and asked
that it be inspected before the board
made its decision.
The bolrd decided to begin theis an
uual inspection OF the phosphate terri
tory on the 9th OF May. They will leave
Charleston by steamer Oh the 10th, and
the trip will occupy about five days.
Mr. Richard Graham, of the State
weather bureau, submitted 4 report on
the organization and extension OF the
service in South Carolina, and made re-
concentrations for its improvement and
for the Inauguration OF river observations
at various points.
The board instructed the commission
er to continue the tclegraphic weather
reports TO stations already established
and TO collect information as to the
most practicable points for the es'
tablishment of river observation sta
tions, together with the coast OF
gauges, and report his findings to the
board at their next meeting. This is
a very important matter to the agricul-
turis,s of the State. The NerS and Co'uie,
has been making these observations
for years at its own expense, and they
have proven very valuable. 1t is pecll-
liarly work for the agricultural de-
partmcnt, however, and may be greatly
extended with advantage. The re-
maindcr Of the morning session was con-
sumed in the auditing OF accounts and
the consideration OF unimportant routine
business.
The board met at s O'Clock tonight
and remained in session until nearly II
o'clock, discussing the acceptance of bids
for the two agricultural experiment sta
tions. After all their thinking and fig
uring they came to the conservative con-
cluSion to visit in person at an early day
the several sites offered, and aiterward:
to make their decision. The excursion
will be 4 pleasant one. 1t has not beer
decided whether it will be taken before
or af cr the annual phosphate excursion
Positively no other information thar
this could be obtained from the member:
OF the board, which adjourned subject tt
| the call of the chairman.

What is the town OF Newberrv
going to do about the Columbia, New
berry and Laurens railroad: There
is a meeting OF the Stockholders
called to meet in Columbia 26th to
consider the proposition to con-
solidate with the Glenn Springs
road. The preliminary survey has
been made from Columbia to Spar
tanburg and the engineer is now oc-
cupied in running the permanent line
in Lexington county. We are told
that soon there will be a prelimi-
nary survey made from Prosperity to
Maybinton without coming to the
town Of Newberry. We do not see
how the town Of Newberry can afford
to let the road be built through the
county without coming by the town,
and the road can Ill afford to leave
the town of Newberrv out. Presi-
dent Moseley only wants $4,000
from township one in order to build
the road by the town of Newberrv.
What are we going to do about it:

COLUMBIA, April ia meeting OF
the stockholders OF the Columlii, New
berry and Laurens Railroad Company
will be held here at p. IN. on Tuesday,
the 2Gth instant, for the purpose OF rati-
| flying the consolidation which has been
arranged with the Glenn Springs Rail-
road. President Barkley and about half
a dozen of the directors of the Orange
| burg and Lewiedalc Railroad Company
came to Columbia to-day to meet presi-
| dent MOScley, Of the Columbia, New
berry and Laurens, to cndeavor to ar
| range for consolidation of the two
lines. President Mo$eley met them in
the reading-room OF the Hotel Jerome.
They submitted in general terms prop
osition for consolidation and were re-
quested to place it in formal and specific
terms for the consideration Of the die
tors OF the Columbia, Newberry and
LaurenS Railroad. at L meeting to be
held very soon. This was all that was
done, but it is enough 10 alarm every
man who has the advancement Of Colum-
bin at heart. The proposed consolida-
ton means simply this: The Orange
burg and Lcwiedale Road will run up to
Prosperity and there unite with the Co.
lumb;a, Ncwberry and Laurens and
push Oh to Spartanburg. The Columbia,
NewbcrrY and Llurens Road will start
from Prosperity, not from Columbia.
This city will be thanked. 1t will
have its best feeder, Lexington, tray-
| crsed aud alienated by a road running
through its centre. Orangeburg and
Prosperity will quietly draw away that
trade, which is the most important to
Columbia. Our people may as well
realize this at once. The Orangcburg
! and Lcwiedale managers are bent on
this arrangement. 1t will give them an
outlet to the mountains and make their
road real trunk line. Columbia is
ruSting away, waiting for some one to
span Broad River for her, and give her L
bridgt TO the promised land. After
months of talk she has failed to take the
first necessary steps to vote 4 township
subscription OF $4,000 which she must
give to get the road. 1t is disgraceful
and di,hrartcnirg. There isn't much
more time for inaction. The Newberly,
Union and Spartanburg people want L
railroad. II they cannot run il to Co
lumbia they will run it to Lewiedale
and Orangeburg, but they will have it.

LET THE COURTS THY CRINI.
NAILS.

We sometimes think that the
press of to-day, while its object is
praiseworthy, at times lets its zeal
over step its judgment. As soon as
homlnicide is reported, or crime
of any kind is charged against man,
the press proceeds at once to try the
case. and denominates the killing
murder, and raises great hue and
and cry for justice, and that the law
be enforced. ali on an ex parte state
ment Of facts in many cases, and
sometimes before they have this.
Every man who is so unfortu-
nate as to have killed another is
not guilty Of murder, and should not
be denominated murderer. al
this too Is done before the due pro-
cess OF law, and an investigation can
be mad by the courts. This is all
wrong. Our courts are instituted for
the trial OF those charged with crime,
and the instances in which the gull
tv escape are not near as numerous
as some newspaper editors would
have Us believe. Let the courts trv
those charged with crime and not
the press.
AL this abuse OF jurieS and charg-
ing them with a failure to perform
their duty is not calculated to make
the jury system more efficient, nor to
make juries any more ready to con-
Sict. If it has any infuenne at ali,
it will be in the other direction. We
do not remember ever to have seen a
Newbery jury fail to do its duty,
and we think they can always be
counted on to do their duty fearless
ly and regardless of Consequences.
This TRADE and loud clamor for
justice indulged in at times by some
Of the papers OF this State, when
ever there is a man charged with
crime, looks like an effort to preju-
dice the public against the man so
charged. This is unfair because the
editor who does this does it without
full statement Of the facts before
him, and in many cases with
only a meagre statement. Nat
urally our sympathies are always
with the man who is killed. but this
should not cause us to do injustice
to the living.
We still have faith in our courts

FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
TRAIN ROBBERY.

GREENvILLE, April lS.-''It'$ the
biggest piece OF systematic stealing ever
worked on a Southern railroad" was
what Detective II. Y. Fellers had to
say tonight OF the Air Line freight rob-
berry scheme after hard days work on
the case. Since the affair was sprung on
the public by the arrest OF Caldwell,
! and the two negroes, Harris and Frone-
| berger on Saturday, rumorS have been
countless OF new developments said to
! involve men prominent in business and
| social life. No confirmation has yet
been afforded these rumorS, but four
more arrests made to-day have added to
the excitement and increased the rumors
of further sensations.
1t Itappears that the band have carried
on regular traffic in goods captured
from passing freight trains, disposins OF
the stolen articles to merchants all
through the county as well as i the
city. Trace Agent Wall, OF the Rich
! mond and Dauyille Road, who is work
ing up the case, says he has over $1,000
worth OF goods reported short in the last
lew months. all of which were stolen at
this point. Caldwell. who is now in
Jail. has acted rs salesman for the gang.
and in every case the goods We're sold
below the market price. Only staple
| articles were dealt in, twenty-five or
| thirty bales plails, twelve sacks OF coffee,
three bales Of cotton. besides numerous
lots of tobacco and cigars being among
the lots already identified.
The scheme appears to have been care
fully planned and included numerous
confcderateS. John G. Griffin, D. G.
Moore, George JohnStone and Harry

seven arrests in all. Griffin is I profe>-
